The crystal structure of skutterudite-related phase IrGe1.5Se1.5 has been refined by the Rietveld method from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. Refined crystallographic data for IrGe1.5Se1.5 are a=12.0890(2) Å, c=14.8796(3) Å, V=1883.23(6) Å3, space group R3 (No. 148), Z=24, and Dc=8.87 g/cm3. Its crystal structure can be derived from the ideal skutterudite structure (CoAs3), where Se and Ge atoms are ordered in layers perpendicular to the [111] direction of the original skutterudite cell. Weak distortions of the anion and cation sublattices were also observed.

Potassium tetraperoxomolybdate (VI) K2[Mo(O2)4] was prepared, and its X-ray powder diffraction pattern was recorded at low temperature (258 K). The unit cell parameters were refined to a=10.7891(2) Å, α=64.925(3)°, space group R−3c (167), Z=6. The compound is isostructural with potassium tetraperoxotungstate (VI) K2[W(O2)4] (Stomberg, 1988). The sample of K2[Mo(O2)4] was characterized by analytical investigations, and the results of crystal structure refinement by Rietveld method are presented; final RP and RWP are 9.79% and 12.37%, respectively.

Indexed X-ray powder diffraction data are reported for two organic salts with carbon rings having two quaternary nitrogens: diazonia-6,9 dispiro [5.2.5.2] hexadecane and diazonia-6,9 dispiro [5.2.5.3] heptadecane diiodides. For these compounds, which give solid electrolytes when associated with AgI, powder diffraction diagrams calculated by the Rietveld method from single crystal structure determinations are presented and are compared to the experimental diffraction data.

The crystal structure of a new cubic cristobalite-related sodium aluminosilicate Na1.45Al1.45Si0.55O4 [P213, a = 14.553 (1) Å] has been modelled using a modulation wave approach and the model tested against X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. Owing to there being 64 independent positional parameters and eight independent Na sites, refinement of the tetrahedral framework atom positions and Na occupancies was not possible. The framework was modelled successfully in terms of q 1 = 1\over 4〈020〉_p^*-type (p = parent) modulation waves with the requirement that the MO4 (M = Al0.725Si0.275) tetrahedra be as close to regular as possible. Na/vacancy ordering was modelled successfully in terms of q 2 = 1\over 4〈220〉_p^* modulation waves. Only the Na-atom positions were refined. The significance of this unique modulated cubic cristobalite-related structure and the possible insight it provides to understanding β-cristobalite are discussed.

In order to exploit X-ray powder spectro-diffractometry, the program RIETAN-97ß for refining crystal structure and lattice parameters by the Rietveld method was modified extensively. The resulting software can be used to refine anomalous scattering factors, fr and fi, for specified crystallographic sites near the X-ray absorption edge of a particular element. The effectiveness of the modified software was tested by using powder diffraction patterns simulated by the original RIETAN-97ß software and a series of measured powder diffraction patterns of Fe3O4 with incident X-ray energies near the absorption edge of iron.

A novel synthesis method of fibrillar trimolybdates with the use of Ag2Mo3O10∙2H2O as a precursor has been used successfully to synthesize methylammonium trimolybdate, (CH3NH3)2Mo3O10∙H2O. The crystal structure of this compound was determined by X-ray powder diffraction method and refined by the Rietveld method. The compound is orthorhombic, space group Pnma (62), with a=11.241(3), b=7.585(1), and c=15.516(4) Å. The redetermined crystal structure of the precursor and the structure of the title compound are compared and discussed.

The structure of the oxyphosphate Ni0.50TiO(PO4) has been determined ab initio from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data by the “heavy atom” method. The cell is monoclinic (space group P21/c, Z=4) with a=7.3830(5) Å, b=7.3226(5) Å, c=7.3444(5) Å, and β=120.233(6)°. Refinement of 46 parameters by the Rietveld method, using 645 reflexions, leads to cRwp=0.152, cRp=0.120, and RB=0.043. The structure of Ni0.50TiO(PO4) can be described as a TiOPO4 framework constituted by chains of tilted corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra running parallel to the c axis, crosslinked by phosphate tetrahedra and in which one-half of octahedral cavities created are occupied by Ni atoms. Ti atoms are displaced from the center of octahedra units in alternating long (2.231) and short (1.703 Å) Ti–O bonds along chains.
